gnome-sudo uses sudo to do its thing. If you don't have sudo working,
then gnome-sudo won't work.
Try opening a terminal and doing something like "sudo ls <dir>", where
<dir> is a directory only root can read. If you see a directory
listing, you're in business. If not, then you probably need to set up
sudo; check the /etc/sudoers file.

Yes; this happens because the other gnomecc isn't accessible to the
capplet run as root. This is the way gnomecc works.

This is a bug in the capplet system, which should be fixed in the latest
version of configlet-frontends in unstable.

If you install the latest configlet-frontends, you should see that go
away. Running "update-configlets" as root should also do the trick.
